Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

1lb brown sugar
1lb black treacle
1lb brown treacle (syrup)
12 oz lard
4 tbs vinegar
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)

Melt all the ingredients together very slowly , without stirring, on the hob. After a few hours give it one stir and allow to boil until it is ready to set hard. This will take about 15 minutes. Pour half into a well buttered tin and put a small teaspoonful of baking soda into the pan and stir this toffee until it rises white. Pour this light toffee onto the dark and roll it all together while hot then pull it out and twist, cutting off lengths as you like. If you like a good hot toffee you may add a teaspoonful or less of oil of peppermint as you add the ginger.

Treacle, sugar, lard, vinegar, the mind boggles.
Much prefer the sound of the bell ringers flip.

Raw egg - no thanks. I remember drinking it and loving it when I was little but these days the thought of it turns my stomach...it's the texture more than anything. I'm not good with some textures. I used to eat raw sausage too...wouldn't dream of doing that these days

Raw egg, does'nt bear thinking about, like oysters yuk too slimy, would'nt be able to get them up or down, if you know what I mean
I used to eat raw sausage too and jelly cubes straight out of the packet, (not at the same time of course).
